We’re getting ready for the first Cyclocross race of the season and the
first in the Grand Prix Erik Tonkin series (GPET). It looks like a great
weekend for ‘cross. We wanted to put out a few reminders about this coming
event.

Park*. Check the flier for detailed directions.

at Ninkrossi (Sept. 28th).

towed. If the main lots fill up, you can park in the Garrison Square lot, a
few blocks south. Please stay off all ball fields.
